Текст песни Downtown

WOMAN
Alarm goes off at seven
and you start uptown.
You put in your eight hours
for the powers that have always been.

RONETTE

When you buy your token, you go-

Where the hop-heads flop in the snow!
Down on Skid Row!

GIRLS
Uptown you cater to a million jerks
Uptown your messengers and mailroom clerks
Eatin' all your lunches at the hot-dog carts
The bosses take your money
And they break your hearts

MEN
Aaaaaaa

GIRLS
And uptown you cater to a million whores
You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors
Your morning's tribulation, afternoon's a curse
And five o'clock you head

WINO #3
By subway

SEYMOUR
Poor!
All my life, I've always been poor!
I keep asking God what I'm for!
And he tells me,Little Shop Of Horrors - Downtown - http://ru.motolyrics.com/little-shop-of-horrors/downtown-lyrics.html
"Gee, I'm not sure...
Sweep that floor, kid"
Oh!
I started life as an orphan,
A child of the street, here on Skid Row!
He took me in, gave me shelter,
A bed, crust of bread, and a job-
Treats me like dirt,
Calls me a slob,
Which I am!
So I live...

SEYMOUR
Someone show me a way to get outa here
Cause I constantly pray I'll get outa here
Please won't somebody say I'll get outa here
Someone gimme my shot or I'll rot here!

{lyrics A and B are sung at the same time, C and D will be sung at the same time}

SEYMOUR (A)
Show me how and I will,
I'll get outa here
I'll start climbin' up hill
and get outa here
Someone tell me I still
could get outa here
Someone tell lady luck
that I'm stuck here

ALL (B)
Downtown
There's no rules for us
Downtown-
Cause it's dangerous
Downtown
Where the rainbow's just a no-show
when you live...

AUDREY + SEYMOUR (C)
Gee, it sure would be swell
to get outa here
Bid the gutter farewell
and get outa here
I'd move heaven and hell
to get outa Skid
I'd do I-dunno-what
to get outa Skid
But a hell of a lot
to get outa Skid
People tell me theres
not a way outa Skid
But believe me I gotta get outa

ALL (D)

Where the sun don't shine!

Past the bottom line
